You forgot to mention that it made a perfect mold of her stomach! Gorilla Glue is some weird stuff, in that it expands when while it hardens. It makes it a little harder to work with for some projects because you have to clamp or weight things to keep them in the right position. But it’s very handy apparently for other purposes - maybe this mold making ability is useful in some way.

As @waetherman mentions, that stuff foams up and expands, and moisture activates it. So it’s likely the dog ate it with no problem and it didn’t cause any issues until it got to their belly.

My dog once chewed up an entire 100-foot strand of Christmas lights, because apparently she liked the way the glass crunched. I panicked until realizing she had managed to not cut herself or swallow a single shard. Dogs are crazy.

I’ve removed the same plastic toy out of a dog on two consecutive days…

(after the first surgery, the owner didn’t recognize it, and wanted it to show his wife (we wash extracted items and bag them up to show people), and he took it home. It went into the kitchen garbage, where the dog extracted the bag, ate it, and it was in almost the same place anatomically the next day… Fortunately, if you’ve got sutures from the previous day, it’s really easy to go back in as nothing has quite healed yet.

Also, this gorilla glue problem is actually a pretty common one. For some reason the stuff is tasty to dogs, and they seem to always finish off the bottle when they find it.

Fascinating and good to know. We never kept these kinds of things in the house. They lived in the garage where they were most useful and the dog couldn’t get at them, but I definitely have a bottle of the stuff and I definitely would never have expected that. I shouldn’t be too surprised though, dogs are four-legged autonomous garbage disposals- as anyone with both litter boxes and a dog has discovered.

Cats are finicky enough with actual literal food. I suspect the reason dogs like these things is that they can often be sweet. Cats don’t have that same hard-on for sweets that a lot of critters developed. I remember my girlfriend used to get all kinds of shit from her roommates because she left a cheerio on the floor, or dropped a Tylenol, or let the cat sniff her coffee. And yes, Tylenol is poison to cats, but unless the cat has pica, is starved, or is the rare cat that likes to eat everything in sight, the cat’s not going to go for it beyond sniffing it. I mean, sure, take precautions, but don’t freak out. At this point I’ve had or been around multiple cats for years and I’m always surprised when cat owners get paranoid about this. Especially when they pull out the yarn to play with it. That is going to get swallowed.
